**  Introduction

The Internet site ftp.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.84) is an
anonymous-ftp clearinghouse for MicroSoft Windows (version 3.x only)
applications, tips, utilities, drivers, bitmaps, etc.  (The machine is
a Sun 3/60 running SunOS 4.1.1 with 8Mb of main memory and 15GB shared
file space.)

CICA (Center for Innovative Computer Applications) currently provides
to the anonymous ftp user, free of charge, over 150Mb of PUBLIC DOMAIN
and SHAREWARE Windows-related files.  The files are *NOT* virus or
trojan-checked, and by retrieving software from CICA, you assume full
responsibility for their use on your machine(s).

Ftp activity at CICA is relentless: Approximately 48,000 logins per
month (or, an average of 1,625 ftp logins per day).  Therefore users
who access this site are URGED to do so during the non-load hours of
7pm to 7am Eastern Standard Time.  Abuse of the system during load
hours will not be tolerated.

You may find the program AUTOFTP, located in pub/Unix/autoftp.zoo,
helpful to you in automating ftp file transfers during non-load hours.
This program can be scheduled at non-peak hours to download files from
any ftp site.

** Internet Access

To access CICA, type "ftp 129.79.20.84" to your prompt.  You'll be
asked for a login name (type "anonymous").  Enter your username (e.g.,
"bob@black.lodge.wa.edu")

If you want to be adventurous and automate the login process, create a
file in your home directory called ".netrc" and make it accessible
only by you (e.g., "chmod og-rwx .netrc") and add the lines:

  machine ftp.cica.indiana.edu
  login anonymous
  password enter_your_username@machine.domain.here

This will now eliminate the prompting of your username and password
upon subsequent ftp sessions.

**  Mail Server Access

Some lucky individuals have had success accessing the files at
anonymous ftp sites using the BITNET ftp server at Princeton
University.  To find out more about this, send a one-line mail message
containing the word HELP to one of the following addresses:

         bitftp@pucc.BITNET
	 bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu

	 ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com
	 
Help will be sent to you in the form of electronic mail.

Please don't send mail requesting UUCP or mail access to the files
here.  We simply don't.

** Software Overview

At this writing, the following Windows areas are represented by the
CICA archives. 

     Area      				Directory
     -----------------------		---------------------
     Various Windows Demo Programs	pub/pc/win3/demo
     Desktop Image, Util, BMP Files	pub/pc/win3/desktop
     Software Drivers/Printers		pub/pc/win3/drivers/printer
     Software Drivers/Video		pub/pc/win3/drivers/video
     Windows Soft Fonts			pub/pc/win3/fonts
     Adobe Type Manager (ATM) Fonts	pub/pc/win3/fonts/atm
     TrueType Fonts			pub/pc/win3/fonts/truetype
     Windows Games and Diversions	pub/pc/win3/games
     Windows Icons, Icon Editors, etc.	pub/pc/win3/icons
     Miscellaneous Files (tips, etc.)	pub/pc/win3/misc
     Windows NT Files			pub/pc/win3/nt
     Windows Programming		pub/pc/win3/programr
     Asymetrix ToolBook Applications	pub/pc/win3/toolbook
     Borland C++ Windows Programs	pub/pc/win3/programr/bcpp
     Program Listings from Publications	pub/pc/win3/programr/listings
     Windows Turbo Pascal Programming	pub/pc/win3/programr/tp
     Windows Visual Basic Programming	pub/pc/win3/programr/vbasic
     Windows Sounds and Util Files	pub/pc/win3/sounds
     Windows Supplemental Devlpmnt Lib	pub/pc/win3/sdl
     ++General Windows Utilities	pub/pc/win3/util
     Word for Windows Utilities, Files	pub/pc/win3/winword
     Windows Resource Kit Files	 	pub/pc/win3/wrk
     WordPerfect for Windows Utils	pub/pc/win3/wpwin

  ++ Currently the general Windows utilities directory contains a
     plethora of files.  We hope to soon organize these files into
     their respective general areas of use (e.g., util/communications,
     util/file (editors, viewers, disk utilities), util/pim (personal
     information managers, calendars, organizers, schedulers, etc.),
     util/graphics (clocks, screen savers, paint programs, video
     software, etc.) util/printing, etc.).

** Getting Software:  The INDEX and ls-ltR Files

Go into the win3 directory ("cd pub/pc/win3"), and see what we have by
getting the ASCII file called "INDEX" (type "get INDEX" to your ftp
prompt).

The INDEX file contains a list of all the files available on
CICA, organized by subdirectory.  Each listing consists of the file's
name, date received (YYMMDD format), and a brief, and an oftentimes
subjective description of the file.  The INDEX file is updated only
after new files in the "uploads" area have been moved into appropriate
subdirectory on disk.  (Set your tab stops at 8 for correct viewing.)

If you would like to view the file during your ftp session, type:

ftp> get INDEX |more

(Note there is no space before the "more" command.)

The file "ls-ltR" is an output from the "ls -ltR" command on the
entire Windows directory structure.  This file presents an ordered
list sorted BY DATE of the files in each subdirectory.  This file is
updated several times daily.

** Downloading Software

Public domain and Shareware utilities maintained here are in
compressed format.  You will need to have either ZOO, PKUNZIP, PKXARC,
or LHARC to work with these files on the PC.  Look in the
pub/pc/starter directory if you don't have these utilities.

Change into individual directories (e.g., "cd fonts") and issue a
"dir" or "ls -CF" command to see the available files.  When you are
ready to download, tell ftp you're transferring binary files (type
"tenex" or "binary" [or worse yet, "quote type L"] to your ftp prompt)
and you're ready to retrieve files (e.g., "get filename").

** Uploading Software

Please place all uploads in the pub/pc/win3/uploads subdirectory.  The
same rules apply to uploading as downloading: if the file is binary,
type "tenex" (or "binary" or "quote type L") first before doing a "put
filename". 

There is a standard file format here so that you won't need fifteen
different file compression utilities to unwrap the software.
Therefore, please use PKZIP (version 1.1 or later) or ZOO (version
2.00 or later) to wrap your software.  PKZIP-Self Extracting Archive
Files may be uploaded and will probably be converted to .ZIPs at a
later date (especially self-extracting .EXE files that are ZIP-ped!)

Lastly, and most importantly, files placed in the "uploads" directory
that contain no clue as to their usefulness will be removed.

** Files NOT Accepted at ftp.cica.indiana.edu

As is a standard practice with most anonymous-ftp sites (that are
supported with funds from an independent host institution), certain
programs, files, or software are outside the general scope of archive
operations, and therefore will NOT be accepted.  These files include
(but are not limited to) any software: containing political,
religious, racist, ethnic, or other prejudiced or discriminatory
messages therein; that is adult or sexually-explicit in nature;
otherwise considered unsuitable by the site moderator.

** A Note About Bitmap Files (.BMP)

Since the inception of this archive in June 1990, many thousands of
users have had access to these files and plenty of time to
"snarf and share" the bitmap images with their friends, families, and
their favorite local bulletin boards and ftp sites.  Therefore, the
images stored here will age six months before they are purged.  This
is the only relief valve we currently have to keep disk space alive
for the other files.  

**  Mirror Sites to the CICA Ftp Collection

Several other Internet archives "mirror" the CICA collection; that is,
they maintain an exact mirror image of the files contained here on
their own machine.

** Questions?

E-mail to ftp@cica.indiana.edu.

Please don't send mail to cica@cica, postmaster@cica, or root@cica.
They will produce no replies.

** A Reminder!

Please, PLEASE remember to type "tenex" or "binary" or "quote type L"
to your ftp program *BEFORE* uploading or downloading binary files.
So many people report "corrupt files" when they didn't type "tenex"
before downloading.  Same goes for uploading files.

Also, if you are stuck in the 1980s and are using KERMIT to transfer
from your Unix (or VAX, God forbid) host to your PC, remember to tell
kermit "set file type binary" before beginning the download.

If you want to be adventurous, install Xmodem, Ymodem, and Zmodem on
your host machine.  Chuck Forsberg's public domain sources are in
~ftp/pub/Unix/rzsz.zoo.
